All journeys involve three initial stages: intention, commitment, and planning. The first two are essential. The third is a trap. We have been told all our lives that to succeed we need to have a plan. And not just a plan, but a Plan A and a Plan B and, perhaps, a Plan C just for good measure. We fall for this because planning gives us the illusion of being in control and makes us feel good.
Not all planning is overkill, of course. Some is necessary, though usually far less than we imagine, and I confess that we have as much trouble as anyone deciding where to draw the line. In spite of that, we are trying our best to let the Universe deal with the details and just enjoy whatever happens.
